@HPC indeed u did mention it. The strange thing is when u make a backup, either using 'save as' or 'export', keepass doenst send the .key file with the kdbx. So you assume there is no keyfile being used and yet it does. Indeed could be problematic, im glad the fresh install did not delete it or i would have lost it all. @LoyceV, thanks mate, very good tip indeed. I got abit careless and annoyed cuz the pc bugged out and thus, seeing i knew my password 100% out of hearth, i just went with it. Could have cost me there. Cheers!

Folks i found it: https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329221/thread/d283ac7a9d/
I posted on keepass and it seems, due to fresh install, keepass could not find the keyfile. Not its strange, because i never refered to a keyfile when unlocking. It seems to be something keepass did out of it self in the previous versions. I am very thankful for your reactions in these dark moments could have lost alot because of this. Thank you again guys!

Thanks again guys really appreciate the help. @HCP i will try the btcrecover tho i dont hav phyton installed nor ever worked with it so i will need to do some digging first.
@Jack thanks, would really appreciate the help! I will follow up on the link u sent, hope i can figure it out.

thanks HPC,

I only used a masterkey, no keyfile and or windows account. I did see the post from jack and ill try and see if i can make it work.

What might be of use is a way to mix a few combinations: i am now only doubting the first four letters used in front and at the end of the password. It should be: 1234!Password1234! but for whatever reason it could be !1234Password!1234 or 1234!Password!1234 etc.

Any one know of a tool that can do this for you?

Thanks for the reply guys. Ill ook in to the google links, thanks for that Jack. Ill give update laters. @Bit no it wasnt hacked. I checked my eth wallet and all funds are still there. I am also using 2FA so just getting to keepass wont do to get access to exchanges, etc.

Is there anyone with a script that can help me out? I am running Win 10.

Howdy folks,

As i was trying to be safe i installed keepass to manage everything crypto and have been working with the program for some time now. It seems however, even though i am 100% sure i am using the right password, keepass is now rejecting my keys after i am trying to acces it after a few months. The reasons i know for sure the password is right, is that have named the db.file such as to give me a hint of what the password is. Also i have made many backups of the original db file and have used the same key over and over again to access the file.

However it may be keepass is rejecting it. Thus i can come to no other conclusion then that i must have forgoten a part of the password and or a double key has entered the password and as such i cant access the file anymore.

The only good part is i know 90% of the password. I have, seeing keepass is rejecting the keys, started to doubt about the other 10%. To give an example: the password is something in the order of $567Cryptokey567$ Now i am sure about the Cryptokey but i am not sure about the first four letters and later 4. I might have mixed these up or anything of the sort.
I was hoping if anyone of you knows a way to shuffle these around so as to get the right password.

Any help is welcome!
Thanks.
